Wow, excellent scratchbuild. Keep us posted on this one.

gburdon, where does one go about getting these tools you speak of?

"I trust you took your measurements from the prototypes as they floated by" Indeed I did Luckily there were more then one

I'm glad you like it! And it's true I do need a lot of rivets on this boat (and also on the pontoons) I'm still experimenting with these (having quite nice results with superglue)

I will keep you posted

Mark;

Great build! I trust you took your measurements from the prototypes as they floated by. Scratchbuilds are hard work but so worth the efforts.

If you need rivets or bolt heads on the seams, a great little tool I recently bought works great. They're called Beading Tools. A jeweller uses them to make recesses for precious stones in rings etc. They work great an you can hammer out a lot of rivets in little time.

I will try and post a picture of mine and some of the various sizes of rivets it makes.

Keep posting as the build progress continues.

Cheers;
